Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner did not establish that the new office would support the beneficiary in a primarily executive or managerial capacity within one year. The Director and AAO found the evidence insufficient to show that the proposed staff would relieve the beneficiary from performing non-executive, day-to-day duties associated with running a gas station and convenience store.
